Chapter 1025 Reversing the direction
On April 30th, in the afternoon, the north bank of the lower reaches of the Dading River, thirty miles southeast of Huicheng.
The sky is clear. Under the blue sky, white clouds are like ripples on the lake water, endless. The scorching sun is like fire, the mountains and winding river valleys are scorching under the sun, sweating, the air seems to burn, and all living things suffer from the heat.
Li Fengyun was wearing a thin yellow military uniform and holding a horse whip in his hand. He stood on the river bank and looked at the other side with a burning look in his eyes.
It has penetrated into the heart of Goguryeo and approached the opponent's defense. If the Goguryeo people who are fighting in this country cannot find the enemy and respond quickly, there is no suspense at all. Therefore, the Goguryeo army guarding Qingchuan rushed north to reinforce Huicheng. In Li Fengyun's expectation, the number of opponent's reinforcements was as high as tens of thousands of troops, which gave Li Fengyun a bad premonition.
Based on Pyongyang's understanding of the powerful people of the Marine and Tieli, it is reasonable for the Marine tribes to betrayal and turn to Middle-earth. People go to high places, water flows to low places, and good birds choose trees to live. This is the basic survival rule. It is understandable, but what is not understood is that when the situation of the war is still unclear, what reason does the Marine tribes have to go out and kill Pyongyang? It is also understandable that the charge for Middle-earth is to survive, but the Marine tribes are to betray Goguryeo and turn to Middle-earth for survival. Since this is the case, how can the Marine tribes risk the loss of soldiers and generals, and make the Middle-earth fishermen profit?
However, the fact is that the marshal control of the marshal is coming, and there must be some secret behind it. Think from the perspective of Pyongyang to speculate that the only possibility that the marshal control of the marshal control of the marshal is to be forced to come out, and the only possibility that the marshal control of the marshal has forced the marshal to come out is that the powerful Middle-Turk army has put a knife on the neck of the marshal. Therefore, behind the marshal control of the marshal, there must be a Middle-Turk army. The marshal control of the marshal is just a cover and smoke. Once the Goguryeo people are deceived, the consequences will be serious.
If Pyongyang speculates like this, it will inevitably lead to Chen Chongjun and Dading River and Sashui on the front line, defending Qingchuan. On the one hand, it will provide strong support for the Yalu Water Defense Line in the west, and on the other hand, it will provide strong protection for Pyongyang in the east. In this way, as long as the Goguryeo people defend the Yalu Water Defense Line before the rainy season comes and firmly defend the Pyongyang City before the Yalu Water Defense Line is not lost, the situation of the battle will be beneficial to Goguryeo and can seize the opportunity in a desperate situation.
After the scout discovered the traces of the Mariner, Qingchuan immediately sent reinforcements of ten thousand people north to Huicheng. It was obviously a tentative attack, which was to verify whether his speculation was correct.
The number of marshaling strings is limited, and there are conflicts and conflicts between the various tribes, so it is difficult to work together. Therefore, relying solely on the power of the marshalings, seeing a large army of 10,000 Goguryeo people heading north to support Huicheng, they will definitely not dare to attack head-on, nor will they dare to attack Huicheng. Instead, they avoid the enemy's edge, so as not to lose both sides with the enemy. However, if there is a Middle-Turk army behind the marshalings, the purpose of the Marshalings and the Middle-Turk people fighting hand in hand is to attack Qingchuan, threaten Pyongyang, and form a front-end and back-end attack with the main force on the west coast of Yalushui, even if the Marshalings are stuck, the Middle-Turk army will fight without hesitation and fight.
Li Fengyun is in a dilemma now.
Facing the support army of Goguryeo with tens of thousands of people, the Martiali Control Xian would never be able to rush up and attack to the death. Even if Li Fengyun forced the order, the Martiali troops would not do it. After all, the Martiali troops would have to take care of their foundation, stand beside them, shaking flags and shouting, and rush up and sacrifice themselves to death. In this way, they would have to attack Anton's horse army. However, as long as the Xi tribe, Khitan, and Turkic Control Xian appeared, even if the news was blocked, Pyongyang would have no idea about the current situation of Anton. Next, Pyongyang would definitely send a large number of troops to defend Qingchuan, Sashui, and even fight with the Yalu Water Line Defense Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Defence Def
The purpose of Li Fengyun's long-distance raid was to win the best interests at the minimum price. If he paid a heavy price to capture Pyongyang, his plan would fail. Not only did he fail to use the plan and use the Eastern Expedition to strengthen himself, he instead ruined Andong, allowing the Holy Lord and the Central to get what he wanted.
However, judging from the current situation, the situation is developing in a direction that is not conducive to Anton. The Anton army may be blocked by Qingchuan and stopped at Sashui, and pay an immeasurable price for its own risk.
Li Fengyun tried hard to achieve the best result, and the chiefs of the Marine tribes such as Tieli did not have passive and lazy battles for the time being. After all, the situation was still unclear, and no one dared to assert that their intentions had been completely exposed. Therefore, Marine's string control still stood on the south bank of Dading River, using guerrilla techniques to block the Goguryeo reinforcements, and delayed the Goguryeo people's advancement speed.
Li Fengyun, Tieli and others judged that the Goguryeo people saw the Michele control string coming from all directions, with a large number of people and the power was extremely dangerous to continue crossing the river. Once they were attacked by the Michele people halfway, the losses would inevitably be heavy. Not to mention the rescue of Huicheng, it would be difficult for them to protect themselves, so they would inevitably stop slowly, while dealing with the Michele people to find countermeasures, and the Qingchuan's reaction would definitely make the situation clear quickly. Qingchuan's number of enemies defending was limited. If Pyongyang did not support, in order to ensure Qingchuan's safety, the support army would most likely withdraw. On the contrary, if Pyongyang reinforcements had arrived in Qingchuan in large numbers, Qingchuan would inevitably send reinforcements again to attack strongly to investigate whether the invading enemy had a Middle-Turk army besides the Michele people.
However, as time passed, the sun moved westward, and the battle situation did not develop as expected by Li Fengyun, Tieli and others. This Goguryeo reinforcements not only did not stop moving forward, but instead attacked even more fiercely, and they were in a state of killing to the riverside before dusk and then quickly crossing the river under the cover of night.
The Goguryeo people resolutely attacked and made great strides, which made the guerrilla harassment of the guerrillas unable to play a role. At this time, if they wanted to stop Goguryeo's advance, they had to rush forward with real swords and guns. However, the Mohe people were worried that they had suffered too much and were unwilling to fight to the death, so the battle situation was unfavorable to the Anton Army.
Tieli has consulted Li Fengyun three times, what should I do? Should I let the Goguryeo people kill to the Dading River?
Ashinur came over and pointed to the river embankment on the other side of the river and said anxiously, "The enemy is still twenty miles away from the river embankment. At the current attack speed, we will definitely be able to reach the river embankment before dusk. At that time, we will be the passive one."
The horse army needs to fight with the advantage of the territory, and the open and flat river valley is very conducive to the horse army's charge, and the siege on all sides is even more conducive to the horse army's tear-off the enemy's formation and can maximize the advantages of the horse army. On the contrary, if the Goguryeo army rushes to the river and uses the advantages of the river to strengthen the battle formation. Although they fight against the water, they also have the power of a battle. In this way, even if the Anton Cavalry attacks fiercely at any cost, the time for annihilation of the enemy will be greatly extended. This is only more than 100 miles away from Qingchuan, and Qingchuan reinforcements can arrive within one day, so once the battle situation becomes a stalemate, the Anton Cavalry will be very passive.
Li Fengyun looked cold and said nothing.
"Don't be lucky." Asunaduel persuaded, "If Qingchuan is not prepared, it is impossible to send tens of thousands of troops to support Huicheng after discovering the Marine people. On the contrary, they will give up Huicheng and use all their limited power to defend the city to ensure Qingchuan's security and ensure the smooth flow between Pyongyang and Yalu Water. There is no doubt about this."
Li Fengyun nodded slightly, "What I am worried about is not that Qingchuan is prepared or that Qingchuan will send reinforcements again, but that Qingchuan would rather abandon this army of tens of thousands than send troops to save them. In this way, we will be more passive and blocked under Qingchuan's city, and will be in danger of rapid cut off food and grass weapons. By then we will be finished, and we will be in chaos without fighting, and we will be defeated without fighting."
Food and grass weapons were the "critical" of the Andong Army. When they attacked from a long distance and went deep into the army alone, they were most afraid of not the enemy's strength, but that they were hungry and lying down. Therefore, Li Fengyun had to speed and fight quickly and quickly, and he was burned and killed and plundered all the way. He did not dare to waste time siege cities and plunder, nor did he fight with the enemy for the loss of one city and one land, nor did he dare to be restrained by the enemy, and he was trapped in a place and could not move.
Ashin Duer knew that he was worried at ease. Li Fengyun was not an indecisive person, and he would not look back at the critical moment. The reason why he was slow to give orders was because he could see far and accurately. His current gaze was not on the battlefield ahead, and he was no longer Qingchuan City, where troops gathered, but was heading to other places.
Ashinal hesitated for a little and asked tentatively, "Kill Pyongyang?"
Li Fengyun nodded, "If we want to solve the food crisis, we cannot stop moving forward, and we cannot stop burning, killing, looting, so if we can't pass by Qingchuan, we will immediately turn our direction and find another way to kill. My strategy is to use the strategy, divide the troops into two groups, stay on the north bank of the Dading River to confront the enemy, deal with it, and do our best to attract Pyongyang's attention. The battle situation is still unclear, the enemy has not yet found out the truth, and has not yet made a correct response, quickly cross the Sashui River and kill directly under the city of Pyongyang, first burning, killing, looting around Pyongyang, chaotic and deteriorating the situation in Pyongyang, and actively find a good opportunity to break the city and annihilate the enemy."
Asuna Dull frowned and said after a little thought, "Pyongyang and its surrounding areas have very strong defensive power. If you want to cross the Sashui River to the east, the selection of the front-sea horses must all cross the river."
"The Hu Ben, Fengyun and Leopard Cavalry led by Han Shiyan are coming day and night, only three days away from us." Li Fengyun said without hesitation, "You immediately lead your army to find a suitable place to cross the river. Starting tomorrow morning, the troops will cross the river eastward. Three days later, the Marines will cross the last group of people across the Sashui River."
Ashinduer agreed immediately, and flew on his horse and left with a storm.
"Transfer some orders." Li Fengyun shouted at the commander, "order the Marines to retreat to the north bank of the Dading River immediately and allow the enemy to kill to the riverside."
